New doco to investigate Tiger King mystery

Tiger King's Carole Baskin and her missing husband Don Lewis are to be the focus of a new true crime documentary amid her feud with Netflix.

Carole runs the Big Cat Animal Sanctuary in Tampa, Florida and features in the hit Netflix docu-series thanks to her rivalry with animal collector, Joe Exotic.

While the Netflix series focused mainly on Joe and the fact he is serving time in prison for trying to hire a hitman to kill Carole, her relationship with first husband Don garnered a lot of attention from fans too, The Sun reports.

Don went missing in 1997 after 'going away to Costa Rica' and never returning.

Police are seeking the public's help for new leads in the disappearance of Jack "Don" Lewis.

He was declared legally dead in 2002, and Carole has vehemently denied Joe's accusations that she killed Jack and either buried his body under a septic tank, or fed him to her tigers.

However, true crime network ID (Investigation Discovery) is jumping on the success of Tiger King and people's interest in Carole by making a new documentary about what really happened to Don.

The channel said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly: "Love her or hate her, Carole is now in the centre ring of the big cat circus.

"Is she a selfless crusader and protector of animals, who found unimaginable strength despite the mysterious disappearance of her husband? Or are we witnessing Carole Baskin's master plan finally take effect?
